TACTICAL WALLS 1410M CLOCK
It is often true that when you want to hide something, the best place to do so is in plain sight. This
is especially true if what you wish to hide is an item such as a firearm that you wish to keep readily
available in case of an emergency. Trampas brings a solution that’s fits perfectly in any home!

ince 2013, the folks at Tactical Walls have built
a successful business producing furniture and
home decor to aid in such tasks while doing
so safely and securely. This family owned and
operated business, based in the Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia produces products that are
proudly manufactured in the United States. Every
product is hand-crafted, using mostly U.S. sourced
materials, whenever possible. The company’s
goal is to make products that are simple to install, are easy to
use, and offer discrete storage solutions for every room.
This summer, my family and I purchased a new home about
an hour from where we had lived for the past seven years
here in Florida. With the addition of two daughters over that
time period, we needed to expand our space by finding a larger
house. With the new place came a huge foyer located at the front
door area. As with any neighbourhood setting, the possibility
of strangers coming to the door is always present. With the
new house being on the main thoroughfare leading through
the neighbourhood, the possibility of door to door salespeople
and other visitors is even more heightened. While our family
considers ourselves to be very welcoming and hospitable, we
do however fully prepare and train for the worst-case scenarios.

In these preparations, having accessible firearms in safe, secure
locations is part of our plan of action. With no convenient place
to mount a gun case or discreet gun cabinet, I turned to Tactical
Walls for a solution.
What I found was a beautiful large round shaped clock with
Roman numerals designed to covertly store a handgun with
room for plenty of extra magazines. This product was listed on
the company’s website as the “Tactical Walls 1410M Clock”.
With a diameter of 22” the clock was large enough to not
look out of place in its intended location. Constructed of ABS
plastic and finished with a faux wood grain (optional black), it
complemented the canvas print clock face perfectly. By pressing
into the 12 o’clock position, the clock face pops outward and
quickly tears from the Velcro securing it to the clock body to
reveal the hidden 14” x 10” compartment used for securing
firearms, tasers, knives or any other items the end user wishes
to conceal. (NOTE: The clock face does NOT lock, so please
consult your local laws before storing a firearm in it.)
The clock fitted perfect with the existing decor my wife,
Candace had picked out for the foyer. By the time the clock
arrived, and we finally settled into the new home, the
Christmas season was upon us. Once Candace decided where
to mount the Tactical Walls clock on the wall, it was easily
